The mystery is solved!
From Carrie at EO:
Well, I think I have solved our mystery! I finally had a moment to do a
little research on the DG Cook Book you discovered. We actually have 2-3
copies of the same book here at EO. I looked inside and
realized/understood what you had been trying to explain to me.
The "Lambda Nu" chapter is actually the Minneapolis, MN alumnae chapter
(established in 1904). In the early years the alumnae chapters took the
Greek chapter names based on the chapters of initiation of its members.
Therefore, the founding/majority of the Minneapolis alumnae were from
Lambda-Minnesota and Nu-Idaho chapters. At the "advice" of Council most
alumnae groups changed from their Greek names to use names of the area
they lived in. It appears that Lambda Nu became Minneapolis around 1930.
